Values
At Burmis Studio we keep things as simple as possible. Our values are best summarized in three words:
-
Quality
Pride in our work underlies everything we do at Burmis Studio. We follow industry best practices to ensure our applications are maintainable, sustainable, and can grow with your business. This includes a commitment to:
- Test-Driven Development (TDD)
- Documentation
- Accessibility
- Standards compliance
- Source control and backups
- Scalable architecture
We know that your business is unique and will work with you to ensure your satisfaction with the final product.
-
Alignment
Your business has its own goals and needs. Timing can be everything and sometimes you only get one chance to impress. Burmis Studio understands this, which is why we will work with you from the start to understand what will make the project a success. We call this "alignment", and it is one of the values that make Burmis Studio different.
-
Agility
It is impossible to predict all the requirements at the start of many projects. Software is complex and business needs can change in unexpected ways. The application you needed at the start of a design might solve a problem that does not exist by the time it is finished. We offer an alternative approach which focuses on delivering frequent prototypes to your workplace early and often as the project moves forward. You get an immediate return on your investment, and the ability to assess whether our software is meeting your business's goals, even if they have changed over time.
It is a constantly changing world, and your business need to be agile to move with it. Why should your business software be any different?
These values impact everything we do, and form the basis of our commitment to providing you with the best experience possible.

Pason Systems
Pason is a leading international provider of specialized rental oilfield instrumentation systems for use on land-based drilling and service rigs. When Pason Systems contacted Burmis Studio they were looking to transition from a static website to a Content Management System (CMS). Using a CMS allowed Pason Systems to simplify its deployment process and update its content more frequently. The CMS also enabled Pason to deliver new features such as news feeds and search engine optimization. Burmis Studio also designed and delivered a redundant hosting solution with automated hot standby and fail over to ensure 99.9% uptime.
Testimonial
"Mark from Burmis Studio provided the development know-how to take Pason Systems from a static website with cumbersome administration to a website with a CMS and a fresh look-and-feel. Mark pushed hard to meet deliverables and got buy-in from other departments. He is a professional with a strong drive to meet expectations. I am very satisfied with the phase 1 development of our website." - Chris Labute | Pason Systems Inc.
